It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

TL;DR - shitty battery goes FWOOOF

"Hicks explained that Talaria normally only uses a well-respected battery maker known as Greenway Batteries. ... However, due to a “clerical error made by the Talaria team,” some Talaria MX5 electric motorbikes that were shipped to the US included a battery produced by another supplier known as Scud."

Talaria is its own separate company. Luna Cycle is a scum business. The owners of Luna Cycle are the moderators of Reddits ebike subreddit.

They remove any poor service reviews from Lunacycle and actively harass people who post about issues with their orders. They have been caught creating sock-puppet accounts to comment pile and downvote negative threads.

Purchase an e-bike from anywhere else but Lunacycle.
